Sussex police pursuit: Dramatic video shows the moment officers used batons to smash suspect vehicle's windows

Multiple police cars were involved in the pursuit of a vehicle in Sussex, which began after a car was reported stolen in Richmond Parade, Brighton at about 1.30pm on Thursday (October 19).

"Officers stopped the vehicle in North Street, Worthing following a pursuit and arrested a 31-year-old man,” a police spokesperson added.

The police statement came after pictures emerged from North Street, Worthing, showing multiple police vehicles surrounding a car – which had a damaged windscreen.

Video footage has since emerged, on X (formerly Twitter), of the moment the suspect vehicle was boxed in and officers began to start smashing the car windows with a baton.

It also appeared from the photos that at least three police cars were involved in a collision on the road.

A police spokesperson added: “I can confirm there was a collision, no one was injured.”
